Biohazard cleanup in Watertown, Tennessee

Cleanup in Watertown: what shapes the work

The square and its brick buildings are the center of town, and many music videos have been filmed here. On excursion and festival days, crowds fill the streets. Work at a business on or near the square is scheduled with the owner, often outside the busiest hours, and the affected area is closed off from the public.

Outside the square, Watertown is a small residential community in rural Wilson County. Homes range from older houses near downtown to newer ones on the edges. The work is matched to the materials each one has.

Before help arrives

1. If someone is hurt or has died, call 911 first. Inside city limits the Watertown Police Department responds; outside them, the Wilson County Sheriff's Office.
2. Do not clean anything yet. Wait until the scene is released, and avoid household cleaners on blood or fluids.
3. Close off the area. Shut the door, keep children and pets out, and turn off fans blowing toward the room.
4. Write down the case or report number and the agency name. Your insurer and the property owner may need it.
5. Call us when you are ready. We will explain what is involved before anything is agreed.

Residential and commercial work

For businesses, rental communities and public facilities, we work through the site or property manager, agree the work area and timing in advance, and provide a written summary for your records.
